Praise for VANCOUVER SLEEP CLINIC
“Flexing all his ambient muscles, Bettison fills the track with a simultaneous sense of beauty and heartbreak, taking the listener through the emotional journey of losing a dear friend.” – Wonderland Magazine
“Depicting a raw and emotional tale of losing someone close to you, ‘Summer ’09’ brings forth a beautiful soundscape between the haunting vocals, ambient pads and sombre guitars that ensure the thick layer of fog that’s injected into the mix encapsulates every little inch.” – Acid Stag
“The mellow and melodic stylings of singer/songwriter Vancouver Sleep Clinic are realised, in their full potential, on the ambient and experiential “Ayahuasca.” – Atwood Magazine
“Every element of the track (Bad Dream) is perfectly woven together in a unified and unassuming way, demonstrating Vancouver Sleep Clinic’s professional finesse. This song seriously has more layers than a Queenslander in a snowstorm.” – Good Intent
“The track (Summer ’09) shares the absolute cut-throat feeling of losing a friend, it’s nostalgic, it’s tragic, and it’s a finely honed, beautiful track. The vocals on this track emote so much, they’re sad and soft, but there’s moments where strength comes through when he recounts memories.” – CrushCop
“Heavenly and harmonious layers are woven together in a cohesive and unassuming fashion, often united by a steadying though subtle pulse heard on nearly every song.” – Billboard
“Calling his music ‘ethereal’ is not nearly enough. With the amount of energy and emotion that’s exuded from his efforts, we need more intense adjectives to describe his sound, and, to be honest, there’s never going to be enough to accurately and justifiably detail what he creates.” – Hilly Dilly

FEVER
.
Ambient Australian musician Vancouver Sleep Clinic is today releasing his acoustic-guitar-laced track “Fever”. This marks the third single in the lead-up to his soon-to-be-released album “Onwards to Zion”, set to make it to our music libraries on October 18th. This latest release imbues a spirit of perseverance amongst listeners with its mellow yet uplifting ambience.

“Fever is the last song I wrote for Onwards to Zion and the final single to come out,” said Tim Bettinson, “The timing feels special because Fever really embodies the theme of perseverance from across the album and is written for the amazing people in my life that have inspired me and continue to help me press on in this journey.”
Tim Bettinson’s upcoming album “Onwards to Zion” was created amongst the secluded yet peaceful setting of Bali’s Lovina Beach, writing much of the album on a $100 nylon string guitar bought at one of Bali’s only music stores. The album bears a distinctly collagic sonic palette, encompassing everything from ethereal atmospherics to psychedelic synth tones to hazy samples of ’60s jazz-pop records.
Bettison’s first single of 2019, “Bad Dream” was released in July this year accompanied by a beautiful music video, infused with the signature moody production and ethereal vocals that have garnered Vancouver Sleep Clinic their success so far.
As director, Max Galassi, states, “’Bad Dream’” conveys a journey into the unknown – playing with ideas from the subconscious; symbols and images that we only experience in our dreams. All this, under the pretence of a strange ‘Sleep Clinic’.”

Cutting away from the moody production of “Bad Dream”, its follow up “Summer ‘09” took an intensely earnest approach, combining Tim Bettinson’s signature nimble vocals with loving acoustic caresses. “Summer ‘09” was written in entirety one beautiful afternoon, about the tragic passing of a close friend to Tim. The heartbreak of losing someone is palpable in both the song and the music video, which conveys the story behind the song with an immersive collection of hazy, nostalgic shots that draw the viewer completely into its world.

With the industry in Australia and overseas singing his praises, and an album still to come, 2019 is shaping up to be Vancouver Sleep Clinic’s year.

I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
